Generally, on something with a cord and plug, the first thing I suspect is a bad spot in the cord where it connects to the plug. One way to check it is to turn the vacuum on, plug the plug into a good outlet that you have checked to make sure it wor ...

Electrolux ultraactive vacuum won't start

Hi There, The E2 error is caused by the terminal block pins where the hose plugs into the vacuum become bent out of shape. This is the receiving pins at the front of the vacuum on the inside. If what I am saying is confusing then it probably needs to ...

I have a Eureka Upright vacuum (4800 Series). When I try to start it by turning the switch on, it wont. For few days, I was able to get around this problem by repeatedly turning the switch on and off until it turned on but that does not work any more. Could it be something related to the switch it self or the power cable. My wife mentioned that one of my kids might have pulled the power cable too hard (at the back of the vacuum). Any help to solve this problem will be very much appreciated. Tha

Over heats and shuts off, wont start again untill it cools off. can maybe vacuum one room before overheating. cyclone tubes are all clean, all hoses & lines are clear. this vacuum is fairly new, not used much. cant find a reset button. is the moter dirty of something?

The electric motor has a thermal switch and is self-resetting so there is no re-set switch. Make sure the air filter for the exhaust is clean. Also make sure that the height adjustment is not too low causing strain on the motor. Always bring the heig ...

I am looking for a contol board for a miele s143 stick vacuum. The vacuum wont start but when I supply power directly to the motor it spins. I think the switches are OK so I have concluded it is the control board Thanks Don Kenney

The kirby wont start no power

I have a Eureka Power Plus vacuum, model 4702, type A. To start off, it never really had great suction. Marginal at best. Then today I was vacuuming and smelled something burning and turned off the vacuum. At that point, smoke started pouring out from the bottom of the vacuum so I layed it on it's side and the smoke cleared but I never found the source. Is it safe to turn on again after I let it cool down or is my vacuum "shot?"

Vacuum won't start unless I press down on the cord rewind area

Won't start. My son was using the vacuum & Didn't change the bag. The vacuum was making the full bag smell, but the light was't on & it didn't stop. I stopped him, changed the bag, checked the filter, closed the compartments & turned on the vacuum. Nothing happened. I checked to be sure that it was plugged in, that wasn't the problem. I've let the vacuum "rest" for several days, It still won't start. Any suggestions?
